Lumbago, also known as lumbago, is an acute form of lower back pain that can occur suddenly and is often related to improper movement, such as bending, lifting or twisting. It can cause sharp, intense pain that limits your range of motion and makes daily activities difficult. Quickly recognizing and treating lumbago symptoms can help reduce symptoms and speed recovery.

Common lumbago symptoms:
- Sudden, sharp pain in the lower back: Often the pain arises abruptly, sometimes after a wrong movement.
- Movement restriction: It may be difficult to bend forward, stand up straight or turn.
- Muscle stiffness: The muscles in the lower back may feel stiff and tense, further aggravating the pain.
- Pain that worsens with movement: Activities such as walking, sitting, or bending can intensify the pain.
Quick treatment for lumbago:
- Rest, but keep moving: Avoid strenuous exercise, but continue to move gently to keep the back supple and prevent stiffness.
- Ice or heat: Use a cold compress for the first 48 hours to reduce inflammation, followed by heat to relax muscles.
- Light stretching: Gentle stretching exercises can help relax the lower back and promote mobility.
- Painkillers if needed: Over-the-counter painkillers may provide temporary relief, but always use them as directed by your doctor.
